1. Buy a book on Linux/Red Hat server admin
2. Read it, paying particular attention to:
  a. Installation/setup
  b. Backup/restore
  c. Logging
  d. Basic system administration
  e. Basic security procedures
3. Make sure you have backed up and recovered the system a couple of times.
4. Try something like
    /etc/init.d/postgresql (start|stop|restart)
    or presumably there's a GUI tool on RHES3
